The Oregonian's journalists take part in Pulitzer panel

Wordstock, the book festival, featured a panel of Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists, including Tom Hallman Jr. and Richard Read. Books writer Jeff Baker says:

One main stage event that was well-attended was a discussion among three
local journalists who have won the Pulitzer Prize. Tom Hallman Jr. and
Richard Read of The Oregonian and Nigel Jaquiss of Willamette Week talked with moderator Jack Hart
about the work that won them journalist's highest honor and the
challenges they face in a changing media environment. The three won in
different categories: Hallman for feature writing, Read for explanatory
reporting and Jaquiss for investigative reporting, and discussed the
techniques and challenges to each discipline. The audience was engaged
throughout and asked timely, pertinent questions. All three reporters
were optimistic, to one degree or another, about the future of
journalism.

Hallman won the feature writing Pulitzer for "The Boy Behind the Mask." Read won for explanatory reporting for following a load of Northwest potatoes to a Singapore McDonald's and shared the Gold Medal for The Oregonian's series about the Immigration and Naturalization Service.
